anyways I cloned my x400 128gb to the 1tb 960e using Samsung migration software... After switching from raid mode to achi and as well as booting from the drive my CURRENT speeds are 2895 sequential read/1471 sequential write and 255,371 random read/161,376 random write.

Shouldn’t these speeds be MUCH higher ? So far I installed the Samsung nvme driver but no improvements. I do have intel rapid storage technology installed.. does that affect anything ?

Guys help advice. Now I have 17 r4 gtx 1070 with a 1440p g-sync screen. What a chance to get me g-sync with lcd uhd 60Hz b173zan01.0? I want to replace the screen ... All these terrible white lines ...

If I was you I would erase aka clean up the SSDs and start up all over again and test both in another computer(don’t forget backup and check you can access it). You have the test tools (benchmarks software). First step.

The SSDs “drive remaining life” still showing 100%. This means it isn’t killed yet. But no hardware will have a good life if they are floating around +100C. You can clearly see that on the “all too low ssd speed”.
